To aZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, LUCAS M. CAMPI, a cilaizen of Porto Rico, a subject of the Kingof Spain, residing in the city of New York and 5 State of Newycrk, have invented e new and useful invention-to wit, a Vertical Rotary Swing-which the following is specification,

This invention relates to vertical rotary 1'0- swings which are adapted to be operated by steam power.

It has. for its object to proviile e heme-work which in also View represents a star, the framework being proviiied with two sets of 1 ei'cssloars from which are scspenilcii sects that relate with the swing, out which retain vertica position at all times, as will he ineftci" explained.

invenmou' xsi uily iilusrir'dteii :m the tic m co mpeu ing drawings, which form part of this specification, and in which similar let tors of reference indicate corresponding ports. Figure 1 represents a side elevation show ing the i'ormanicu of the star one the meuner in which the seats are suspended fiilill the two rows of cross-hers. Fig. 2 represents a transverse veiticol section through the line m c, Fig. 1, showing a face view of the seats E and the manner in which they are suspended from the cross-bars D; andFigfl illustrates thegeared diivirig-wheels c and o and circular foundation piece G, which is keyed to the shaft B, and to which the arms M and N are rigidly secured, as shown at d, Fig, L

Thcarms M and Nero provided with flanges oi; hheii foundation end, which conform to the periphery of the foondobioupiecc G, and ,hhis flange portion is either riveted or bollicii loo the foundation-piece, as illustrated, In order 0 to support; the cubes: ends of t-lue arms and to form. the star, the braces a are rig iily SBGLiFGG.

. one end to the arm M and one emu to the even N, They can be either riveted or bolted, as the cos e may require. To consiruc'b any swing,1 use law-oer more of the star frames, as described and arrange the seats toswing in befiweeu each pair of frames, as follows: loch stormine is lzcyeei to the sheila B the 'rcquisite listence e-parfi.

The crosslmrs D are then secured to the outer ends of the arms M and N by means of the eyes 6, which are provided on each of the arms nd the proper nuts on the ends of each cross-bar. The seats are suspended from the cross-bars by means of the hangers h, which are all; ched to small sleeves s, which fit loosely around the CI'OSS-llillS and permit the seal; to hang in a. vertical position while the swing 's rotating. seat to oscillate the some at pleasure. A row of seats is provided on each of the outer crossbei's, but to the small arms N cross bars and seats are provided only'to every second paii', as the al (once between each pair would nob leovc Si out room for the seat to clear when the swingie ociog rotated. One of the supports A pioviclcd with a platform, H, mm ll supports i'i'ie ueecssiii'y lo mg a ucei'iil e1. The supports A. iresl", upon and are sooured to the oed piece R, as illustrated, and are provided with the stays P, which are boltied to the oelpiccc oncl supporis,a-s illustrated in 2.

The swing is cpemieti as follows; The err gine revolves {he she-foil. which carries the I They also permit the user of the.

The combination of the horizontal shaft B,

mounted in the emulation-pieces G, said shaft; being driven by a suiteblemotoi, the long and short arms M and N, secured to said foundation-pieces G, the braces a, which connect the extremities. of solo. long" and ShGil? arms M and N, and the cross-hers d, and sects-E, sub-. V.

s ocntially as set forth.
